“Jo has been great looking after Jellybean whilst I was away. The daily messages and photos were wonderful and very reassuring. I have come back to a happy cat. Jo also watered my garden plants for me. I'd definitely use Jo again. Many thanks Jo! ”
“Ashleigh provided exceptional cat sitting for my beloved Fluffy, Bunny, and Grace while I was away. She was highly communicative and gave them the attention they needed, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thanks, Ashleigh, for your outstanding care!”
“Thank you so much Michelle for so expertly looking after Sophie especially at short notice. Was very reassuring to know she was safe and well under your care. Thank you for following all my instructions. Would certainly love to book with you again!”
“Jade took time and trouble to get to know our cat and make sure he was comfortable with her. When she visited she stayed to play with him, give TLC and reassure him, as he isn’t used to being alone (his brother died recently). We could see from the pics she shared and his happy presentation when we got home that all was very good. Really appreciate her kindness and cat-centred approach, and hope she will come again!”
“Krish is amazing cat sitter. She took care of our 1.5 year old Mia when we were out and seems that Mia was very happy with her. Krish sent us loads of puctures and videos, that made our days when away:) ”
“Lucia was amazing with our cat! They got along instantly, and his affection for her showed in the daily photos she sent us. Her daily updates on our cat's well-being were sweet and informative. She was very professional, accomodating and flexible. The perfect cat-sitter for our Christmas holiday trip. We'll definitely be using her services again!”
“I cannot recommend Ana highly enough! She was immensely helpful with our three cats when we were away. We got daily updates and photos and came back to healthy and happy cats :)”
“5 stars is not enough! First time using a cat sitter so was really nervous, Jo is amazing and made me feel very comfortable, I will never go to anyone else and will recommend her to all my cat friends! If you’re wondering who to use, Jo is your girl! x”
“Jianing visited my two cats once a day for eight days. She was totally dependable and communicative throughout with daily photos and videos showing them getting to each other and quickly becoming great friends. Usually when I return from being away, my two punish me for a day or so for leaving them. This time, they barely seem to have missed me and we’re picking up right from where we left off. I have no reservation in highly recommending Jianing, who clearly loves cats as much as I do. We’ll be using her again soon.”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a gorgeous 2.5 year old Doberman. We’ve breed and trained over the years so I’m very well rehearsed in the care and attention needed for your little side kick. I also have a mischievous little tortoise, and have had cats and fish. I’m self employed and work from home so have plenty of opportunity to help. I only have the occasional commitment around school pick up. Always open to a discussion. As I would be visiting your home I am happy to abide by any rules that are set and anything I can do to help install your trust in me, I’m happy to discuss prior to making a booking.
“Danni has been amazing looking after our cat. We have used her several times now, she takes the time to play with our cat and give her some love and attention. She also sends regular updates and photos while we are away - we know our cat is in safe hands! ”
“Naomi was fantastic, she took time to understand the daily routine for my cats. She was attentive and sent me lots of photos and updates. My cats were well looked after, thank you will book again! 😁”
“Erin was absolutely wonderful looking after our cat Margot. She was so kind and gentle with her, and we could tell Margot was really well cared for. Erin kept us updated with messages and photos, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Fantastic communication and such a lovely person. We’d highly, highly recommend Erin to anyone, thank you so much again!”
“Susan looked after my two cats, King and Peanut, for 10 days and she was absolutely wonderful! Leaving your pets is always a bit stressful, but Susane made it completely worry-free. She sent daily updates alongside fantastic photos of my furry babies, which completely put my mind at ease. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Susan also watered my plants, which is always a huge plus ! I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a top-tier pet sitter, and will definitely be booking her again!”

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Barnet
The most important thing to us when we travel is to be confident that our cats are well looked after and given time and care. Tsvetelina is a genuine cat person. Our cats have had the pleasure of her company and we were delighted to have happened upon someone who is not only a natural, but also devoted to the cats’ welfare, going well above and beyond what we could expect. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
My partner and I have just got home from a long weekend away and Margaux is so happy and relaxed! 🥰 Giulia was such a fantastic sitter, keeping us updated with photos and messages while we were away. She spent lots of quality time playing with Margaux, feeding her and making sure she was happy and well looked after. It was so lovely coming home to a happy, relaxed cat. Would 100% recommend booking Giulia! X
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Krystal was fantastic - can’t recommend her enough! This was our first time leaving our cat Dakota alone, and as she’s still young, I was pretty nervous - but Krystal put us completely at ease. Professional, extremely warm, and communicative throughout, with regular updates that reassured us the whole trip. Dakota probably didn’t even notice we were gone 😅 We’ll definitely stay in touch and book again for our next trip. 5 stars, would give more if we could ♥️ Thank you so much!
Susanna is absolutely amazing! So sweet, a proper cat whisperer… Ive never seen my cat so happy with anyone but myself! She was so attentive, fussed over him everyday, sent lots of pics and videos. I came back to a very happy well looked after cat! She also kept my place so clean and tidy. Best cat sitter ive had. Thank you Susanna x
Ashleigh was so amazing looking after our cat! Lulu adored her and clearly loved her visits. Ashleigh sent regular videos and updates which gave us great peace of mind. We enjoyed our holiday knowing Lulu was eating well, happy and cared for. Thank you Ashleigh!
Marian was fantastic looking after my two Maine Coons while I was away. He took excellent care of them and sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well looked after. I came home to two very content cats! I’d happily recommend Marian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book him again. 😊
Ana took such wonderful care of my cats. She is very reliable, and her communication was prompt and consistent. She handles situations thoughtfully, which I really appreciated. When I came home, my cats were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would happily trust Ana with them again and highly recommend her! Thank you so much Ana🐾🙏
This was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter, and we were quite anxious initially, but Vera completely put our minds at ease! She was absolutely wonderful with Badem, incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive. She sent us regular updates, photos, and videos, showing how happy and well looked after he was. Our home was left spotless, and most importantly, Badem was completely relaxed and content when we returned. We cannot thank her enough and 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you so much, Vera
Natasha was brilliant! She came round before the booking to meet my cat and so I could show her where everything was. Took such good care of my cat, arrived on time, and kept me updated with photos and video. Really put me at ease and would definitely recommend Natasha to anyone!
It’s really important for us that someone caring and trustworthy looks after our Bubbles while we’re away and we’re so happy we booked Luba - proof of that is that Bubbles couldn’t get enough cuddles. Luba is detail oriented, super caring and you can see she wants to make sure your pet is looked after even in extreme heat. Also extremely appreciative that Luba waited until we answered the phone when the front door wasn’t opening. It gave me peace of mind to know that Bubbles was cared for while we’re away. Will definitely be booking again - Thank you Luba again so much!
Elysia took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated throughout, and we came back to a very relaxed and happy cat. Elysia was also super responsive beforehand when we were arranging the meet and greet. Would be very happy to book again - thank you!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Barnet pet parents with similar pet households.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Barnet choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
